Nicolet Bankshares, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2021 Earnings
10/19/2021 - 04:02 PM
GREEN BAY, Wis. , Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nicolet Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCBS) ("Nicolet") announced third quarter 2021 net income of $7.8 million and earnings per diluted common share of $0.73 , compared to $18.3 million and $1.77 for second quarter 2021, and $18.1 million and $1.72 for third quarter 2020, respectively. Annualized quarterly return on average assets was 0.59% , 1.62% and 1.55% , for third quarter 2021, second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $44.3 million and earnings per diluted common share was $4.22 , compared to net income of $42.1 million and earnings per diluted common share of $3.97 for the first nine months of 2020. Annualized return on average assets was 1.24% and 1.35% for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
On September 3, 2021 , Nicolet completed its merger with Mackinac Financial Corporation ("Mackinac "), pursuant to the terms of the definitive merger agreement dated April 12, 2021 , at which time Mackinac merged with and into Nicolet, expanding Nicolet prominently into Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan , and adding to Nicolet's presence in upper northeastern Wisconsin. Mackinac shareholders received fixed consideration of 0.22 shares of Nicolet common stock and $4.64 in cash for each share of Mackinac common stock owned, resulting in the issuance of 2.3 million shares of Nicolet common stock for stock consideration of $180 million and cash consideration of $49 million , or a total purchase price of $229 million . Upon consummation, Mackinac added total assets of $1.5 billion , loans of $0.9 billion , deposits of $1.4 billion and preliminary goodwill of $92 million .
"We fully expected this to be a noisy quarter from a financial perspective with the closing of the Mackinac acquisition, and the financial results certainly proved that to be true. However, we view our acquisitions as long-term investments in the Nicolet franchise, which helps dampen some of the noise. Our integration team delivered another solid performance of combining two banks. We are especially pleased with the core performance of the bank this quarter. Our people did a great job of serving our customers without being distracted by the Mackinac integration. We remain focused on introducing our brand to new communities, introducing our culture to new employees, and operating an outstanding community bank," said Mike Daniels , President and CEO of Nicolet.
"Our organic loan growth is pacing at 7.5% annualized, and continues to stay ahead of our PPP forgiveness activity. Our credit metrics, including the addition of Mackinac , remain pristine and reflective of our strong credit culture," Daniels said. "We continue to focus on capital management, and although we were out of the market for about half of the quarter due to our M&A activity and related shareholder meetings, we repurchased $17 .1 million or 233,594 of our shares through our repurchase program."
"The merger, while an exciting part of our business model, created some disruption in our reported earnings performance; however, internally we continue to measure and monitor these results to make sure we are remaining true to our commitment to provide superior shareholder return," commented Bob Atwell , Executive Chairman of Nicolet.
Balance Sheet Review At September 30, 2021, period end assets were $6.4 billion , an increase of $1.8 billion (40% ) from June 30, 2021 , largely due to the acquisition of Mackinac , which added $1.5 billion of assets at acquisition. Total loans increased $0 .7 billion from June 30, 2021, with Mackinac adding loans of $0.9 billion at acquisition, partly offset by the transfer of $0.2 billion of loans to other assets held for sale in anticipation of the previously announced sale of the Birmingham, Michigan branch. Total deposits of $5.4 billion at September 30, 2021 , increased $1.5 billion (38% ) from June 30, 2021, largely due to the acquisition of Mackinac. Total capital was $729 million at September 30, 2021 , an increase of $170 million since June 30, 2021, mostly due to the acquisition of Mackinac . For the quarter ended September 30, 2021 , Nicolet repurchased 233,594 shares at a total cost of $17 .1 million, or an average per share cost of $73.31 .
During 2020, we originated 2,725 PPP loans totaling $351 million , bearing a 1% contractual rate, and earned a $12.3 million fee. During 2021, under the latest round of the SBA's program, Nicolet originated 2,205 PPP loans totaling $160 million and earned a $9.3 million fee. Of the total fees, $5.7 million was accreted into interest in 2020 and $9.8 million was accreted in the first nine months of 2021. At September 30, 2021 , the net carrying value of all remaining PPP loans was $72 million (2% of total loans), a $78 million decrease from June 30, 2021, with the $28 million added from the Mackinac acquisition more than offset by continued loan forgiveness.
Asset Quality Nonperforming assets were $21 million at September 30 , consisting of $17 million of nonaccrual loans and $4 million of other real estate owned (primarily closed bank branch properties yet to be sold), and representing 0.33% of total assets, compared to $10 million or 0.21% at June 30, 2021, and $12 million or 0.25% at September 30 , 2020. Since the prior quarter, the allowance for credit losses-loans increased $6 million to $38 million , mostly due to the Day 2 allowance increase from the acquisition of Mackinac. At September 30, 2021 , the allowance represented 1.09% of total loans.
Income Statement Review Net income for third quarter 2021 was $7.8 million , compared to net income of $18.3 million for second quarter 2021 and net income of $18.1 million for third quarter 2020.
Net interest income was $35.2 million for third quarter 2021, $0.4 million (1% ) lower than $35.6 million for second quarter 2021, comprised of $0.4 million higher interest income more than offset by $0.8 million higher interest expense. Between the sequential quarters, the lower net interest income included favorable volume variances (up $1.8 million ) and one additional earning day (up $0.3 million ), offset by unfavorable rate changes (down $2.5 million ).
Average interest-earning assets of $4.7 billion were up $625 million from second quarter 2021, with higher average loans (up $207 million , mostly timing of the Mackinac acquisition) and continued growth in other interest-earning assets (up $344 million , mostly cash), resulting in a shift in the mix of average interest-earning assets to lower yielding assets. Other interest-earning assets increased to 22% of total interest-earning assets for third quarter 2021 (compared to 17% for second quarter 2021), while the percentage of loans declined to represent 65% of total interest-earning assets for third quarter 2021 (compared to 70% in the prior quarter). Average interest-bearing liabilities of $3.1 billion increased $408 million from second quarter 2021, with higher average interest-bearing deposits (up $308 million , mostly timing of the Mackinac acquisition) and an increase in other interest-bearing liabilities (up $100 million due to the subordinated notes issuance in July).
The net interest margin for third quarter 2021 was 2.94% , down 51bps from 3.45% for second quarter 2021. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 48bps (to 3.24% ), mostly due to the change in mix of interest-earnings assets, including a higher proportion of lower yielding cash assets, continued PPP loan forgiveness, and lower yield on all other loans (down 13bps from the prior quarter, pressured by new or renewed loans in the low rate environment). The cost of funds increased 5bps (to 0.46% ) for third quarter 2021, attributable mainly to the $100 million subordinated notes issued in July.
Noninterest income was $14.0 million for third quarter 2021, down $6.2 million (31% ) compared to second quarter 2021. Excluding net asset gains (losses), noninterest income was $15.2 million , down $0.8 million (5% ) from second quarter 2021. Net mortgage income of $4.8 million remains strong, though continues to slow from the record levels experienced in 2020. Trust services fee income and brokerage fee income combined increased $0.3 million (6% ) over second quarter 2021. Net asset losses were $1.2 million (comprised primarily of market losses on an equity investment), compared to net asset gains of $4.2 million in second quarter 2021 (comprised primarily of market gains on the same equity investment's initial public offering during the quarter). All remaining noninterest income categories combined decreased $0.3 million from second quarter 2021 largely due to the favorable resolution of an early lease termination in the prior quarter.
Noninterest expense of $33.1 million increased $2.3 million (8% ) from second quarter 2021. Personnel expense decreased $0.2 million (1% ) from second quarter 2021, while all non-personnel expenses combined increased $2.5 million (18% ) over second quarter 2021. The increase in non-personnel expenses was largely due to higher merger-related expense, a $0.9 million impairment charge for the previously announced closure of five legacy Nicolet branches, and a larger operating base, partly offset by a $2 million contract termination charge incurred in second quarter.
On June 22, 2021 , we entered into a definitive merger agreement with County Bancorp, Inc. ("County" (NASDAQ: ICBK)) pursuant to which County will merge with and into Nicolet, to become the premier agriculture lender throughout Wisconsin. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, County shareholders will have the right to receive for each share of County common stock, at the election of each holder and subject to proration, either $37.18 in cash or 0.48 shares of Nicolet common stock. County shareholder elections will be prorated to ensure the total consideration will consist of approximately 20% cash and approximately 80% common stock. At June 30, 2021 , County had total assets of $1.5 billion , loans of $1.0 billion , deposits of $1.1 billion and equity of $175 million . As of September 7, 2021 , Nicolet had received all regulatory approvals for the County merger. On October 5, 2021 , the shareholders of both County and Nicolet approved the merger at special meetings of their respective shareholders held on that date. Nicolet expects to close the merger on December 3, 2021 , subject to customary closing conditions.
